Desalination Technology for Brackish Groundwater and Renewable Energy Partner
The Research Institute for Groundwater is affiliated with the National Water Research Center under the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation. It was established in 1975 to serve as the specialized research body for groundwater studies across the country. The institute comprises a multidisciplinary team including civil engineers, geologists, groundwater experts, and researchers in agricultural fields, as well as technicians and skilled workers responsible for implementing field programs. The institute employs 50 researchers, in addition to 20 technicians and approximately 60 administrative staff. The institute’s main role is to conduct groundwater studies, prepare hydrogeological maps, and contribute to the management of this vital resource.

TOPICS

Topic 1.1.1-2026 (IA) Decentralised Brackish Water Desalination for Climate-Resilient and Resource-Efficient Mediterranean Agriculture

KEYWORDS

Brackish groundwater – Desalination – Water Scarcity – Groundwater Management – Mediterranean Agriculture

DESCRIPTION

The Research Institute for Groundwater seeks collaboration with universities, technology providers, and agricultural partners to support the development of decentralized brackish groundwater desalination systems for Mediterranean agriculture. This topic represents a pressing challenge in Egypt and a high priority for the government, particularly in light of increasing water scarcity and the need to support sustainable agricultural expansion. Egypt also offers multiple potential pilot and study areas where this project can be effectively implemented under diverse hydrogeological and climatic conditions. The institute could contribute to: – Groundwater assessment and site selection for suitable brackish aquifers. – Support in system design based on local hydrogeological and water quality conditions. – Monitoring and evaluation of water quality, aquifer sustainability, and environmental impacts. – Data analysis and modeling to ensure long-term resource efficiency and climate resilience
